½ cup unbleached, all-purpose flour

½ cup rolled oats (not quick)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup dairy-free milk (may substitute skim or low-fat)

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1⁄3 cup grapeseed or vegetable oil

2 tablespoons flaxseed oil

1 cup plain yogurt (preferably low fat)

½ cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Instructions

1. Combine all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl; whisk until well blended. Add the milk, eggs, syrup and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Stir in the oils and yogurt and whisk again until combined. Fold in the nuts, if using. Let batter rest 5 minutes before using.

3. Pour 1 heaping cup of batter onto the center of the lower grid of the preheated waffle maker; spread batter evenly using a heatproof spatula. Close lid of waffle maker. When tone sounds, waffle is ready. Open lid and carefully remove baked waffle. Repeat with remaining batter. For best results, serve immediately.
